Enhancement of Achievement and Attitudes through Individualized Learning-style Presentations of Two Allied Health Courses.

Miller, Joyce A.

Journal of Allied Health, v27 n3 p150-56 Fall 1998

Classes in anatomy and sonography were both taught using lectures and Programmed Learning Sequence (PLS) in book format. Sonography students also used PLS in multimedia. Achievement was higher with PLS than lecture; book PLS was more effective than multimedia; and there was a significant correlation between learning-style preferences and achievement. (SK)
